Anorexia isn't about weight
I felt so insecure about my anorexia. My weight is normal for my height, actually its healthy. Today I was brave enough to tell my doctor how I feel about diagnosis she gave me. You know what she told me ? She told me Anorexia isnt about weight at all. Its a special structure of mind. As thin as youre becoming, as fat as youll see yourself. You do have anorexia. That was so encouraging. Thanks to her. I just want to spread the awareness of this illness and about stigma. Shes so thin, is she anorexic? Does it matter ? Maybe the person standing beside you on bus stop has it. Maybe the person you just saw has it. SPREAD THE AWARENESS. ANOREXIA IS NOT ABOUT BEING UNDERWEIGHT. YOU HAVE A FULL RIGHT TO RECOVER EVEN IF YOURE NOT UNDERWEIGHT.
ps: i posted this on my tumblr account too
This. Exactly this. I felt that I wasn't thin enough to ask for help, that I wasn't thin enough to admit I was sick. I mean, I still have my period, so it can't be anorexia, right? Boy, I was wrong! Everybody deserves help, at 300 pounds or at 50 pounds.
I have an eating disorder, even if my weight is healty and I deserve to recover, no matter what.
@dreyy96 that's right! I thought the same. I'm at early stages of anorexia like my doctor said. Keep going <3
Thank you so much! You too and take care of yourself !
